Beyond Alzheimer’s: Understanding the Dementias
Chiadi Onyike, M.B.B.S., M.D., Johns Hopkins Medicine
While Alzheimer’s disease is the most well-known, the dementia umbrella encompasses hundreds of different diagnoses. In fact, up to 20 percent of middle-aged patients who seek help have some form of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), often wrongly diagnosed as Alzheimer’s. Dr. Chiadi Onyike aims to increase awareness of the dementias, and will share how these disorders differ and can present differently for each individual.
